Abstract

Display devices for a cord are provided. The display device has a display surface for displaying a message or idea. The display surface can be sized, shaped and colored to display the message. Text or images can be applied to the display surface. A notch formed in the display device is sized for selective attachment to the cord of an electronic device such as a computer, MP3 player, or cellphone.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A display device for a cord comprising:
 a display surface configured for displaying a message; and   an opposed rear surface, wherein at least one notch is defined therein a portion of the rear surface, and wherein the at least one notch is configured for selective attachment to a portion of the cord.   
     
     
         2 . The display device of  claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the display surface is shaped to display a message. 
     
     
         3 . The display device of  claim 2 , wherein at least a portion of the display surface is substantially planar. 
     
     
         4 . The display device of  claim 3 , wherein at least an image is printed on the display surface. 
     
     
         5 . The display device of  claim 4 , wherein the display device is a monolithic device. 
     
     
         6 . A display device for a cord comprising:
 a display surface configured for displaying a message; and   an opposed rear surface, wherein a pair of opposed arms extend from the rear surface, wherein at least one notch is defined between the pair of opposed arms, and wherein the at least one notch is configured for selective attachment to a portion of the cord.   
     
     
         7 . The display device of  claim 6 , wherein at least a portion of the display surface is shaped to display a message. 
     
     
         8 . The display device of  claim 7 , wherein at least a portion of the display surface is substantially planar. 
     
     
         9 . The display device of  claim 8 , wherein at least an image is printed on the display surface. 
     
     
         10 . The display device of  claim 9 , wherein the display device is a monolithic device. 
     
     
         11 . A display device for a cord comprising:
 a display surface configured for displaying a message;   an opposed rear surface; and   an outer wall extending between the display surface and the opposed rear surface, wherein at least one notch is defined therein at least a portion of the outer wall, and wherein the at least one notch is configured for selective attachment to a portion of the cord.   
     
     
         12 . The display device of  claim 11 , wherein the at least one notch comprises a plurality of notches, wherein a first notch of the plurality of notches is defined in a first side of the outer wall, wherein a second notch of the plurality of notches is defined is a second side of the outer wall, and wherein the second wall is opposed to the first wall. 
     
     
         13 . The display device of  claim 12 , wherein at least a portion of the display surface is shaped to display a message. 
     
     
         14 . The display device of  claim 13 , wherein at least a portion of the display surface is substantially planar. 
     
     
         15 . The display device of  claim 14 , wherein at least an image is printed on the display surface. 
     
     
         16 . The display device of  claim 15 , wherein the display device is a monolithic device. 
     
     
         17 . A display device for a cord comprising:
 a display surface configured for displaying a message; and   an opposed rear surface, wherein at least one notch is defined therein a portion of the rear surface, and wherein the at least one notch comprises means for selective compressive and frictional attachment to a portion of the cord.   
     
     
         18 . The display device of  claim 17 , wherein at least a portion of the display surface is shaped to display a message. 
     
     
         19 . The display device of  claim 18 , wherein at least a portion of the display surface is substantially planar, and wherein at least an image is printed on the display surface. 
     
     
         20 . The display device of  claim 17 , wherein the display device is a monolithic device.
